US EditionTejashwi Yadav Promises a Job for Every Family in Bihar
Tejashwi Yadav promises a new law ensuring one government job per family with full implementation in 20 months, aiming to address unemployment and economic justice in Bihar.
- On Thursday, Tejashwi Yadav, Rashtriya Janata Dal leader and Bihar Opposition Leader, announced that his party would ensure at least one person from every household in Bihar gets a government job if they return to power.
- The proposed law will be enacted within 20 days of forming the government, and Yadav said implementation will be completed within 20 months after the Act is passed.
- Yadav pointed to past job initiatives, saying his 17‑month tenure as deputy chief minister provided employment to thousands and five lakh jobs as groundwork for expansion.
- Critics immediately called the measures `poll bribes`, and analysts expect the pledge to be a key topic in the 243 Assembly seats polls on November 6 and November 11 amid existing schemes like 125 units of free electricity by the Nitish Kumar-led government.
- Framing it as economic justice, Yadav accused the ruling NDA of failing to provide jobs in 20 years and pledged his promise is based on data and surveys with a feasibility pledge.
